Welcome to NAM, I checked your gallery no pictures. Thus, no MINI, it is all a figment of your imagination.

Congratulations on adopting an 05 Cabrio, color, mods, plans?

Welcome to NAM, raven! Beautiful little cabrio! Not sure which club you're nearest to, but here are two you can look into joining:

DC Metro MINIs

Mid-Atlantic

Hope that helps!

WESTMINSTER !

Hello, Neighbor ! Want to start our own Carroll County Convertible Club ?

And is that an elusive and rare Purple Haze, or are my eyes deceiving me ?

And the DCMM club is very active... next to our new "CCCC" probably the funest MINI club in the world.

Yes it is the elusive Purple Haze

Let me know about starting a Carroll county club. I have noticed that a few of the owners I have seen around town do not seem friendly when I wave. What's with that? I know they see me, I have the top down.

Well... since we only live 15 miles apart, we can start our CCCC any time ! Between us, we have two convertibles and two hardtops, we're ready for our own parade.

Yep, there's a lot of non-enthusiasts motoring around these parts. I've converted a few of them to being wavers, but some are hopeless.

If you see me motoring up Rt 97 or across Rt 26, better wave, or I'll turn around and chase you down in that Purple Haze convertible and make you wave.

Glad to be friendly!!!!!

I take it Mini's are a family affair with you. I sadly just have one and mine will be shared with my soon to be driving daughter. I thought it would be a cool car for her to drive and she agrees. I will not be giving her 100% use, she can drive my Durango around town. What do we need to do to create a local club?

Yeah, the MINIs are a family affair for us... of sorts. There's just two drivers in our family but the MINIs are part of the family. Does that count as a "family affair"?

Ahhh, your daughter is fortunate to have such a kind mom. I told my son that when he turns 21 in about 9 years, he'll still be lucky to be allowed to drive one of the these MINIs. I was messing with him, of course, but that's not miles from the truth (due to my job, I'm convinced kids shouldn't drive until they're 18).

Anyway, join us at one of the DCMM events (linkage up there ^^) and we'll discuss a Carroll County Convertible Club event. I know there's a few others around these parts.
